You're from Monty and there's not one scrap of bale string to be seen anywhere in that photo you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself! I bet all your gates swing as well don't they you absolute animal. Plus that obscene amount of grass!

Have you taken on extra land or cut sheep?

We moved our grass up the motorway as 120x70 in 5fts. Ryegrass/red clover ley. 8 layers of wrap to avoid holes. Contractor wrapped it with a mchale 998. @Tony1989 hauled it with lorry and drag for us and did a top job. Proved very cost effective in summer 22

It’s erbal leys innit.
I put 20ac of hybrid ryegrass/red clover/plantains in last year. The residual N from the clover, coupled with a warmish, wet winter, has meant it has grown steadily since grazing pretty bare in early December.

The whole farm certainly doesn’t look like that, but that’s a valuable 20ac just now, especially with a govt scheme paying for the seed & drilling.
